LONGMONT

A 38-year-old transient is suspected of swearing at the owner of a Longmont restaurant, and striking the restaurant owner several times on the side of the head with a shoe, while being escorted out of the business on the 400 block of Main Street on Thursday. Police said witnesses reported that the suspect entered the restaurant, walked to a restroom in the back, and upon exiting the restroom was told by the owner that it was for paying customers only. Police arrived after the man had left, but they said the restaurant owner was able to identify the man from a photo one officer had of a possible suspect. Police later located the man near Third Avenue and Emery Street, took him to the police station and released him after issuing municipal summonses for harassment, illegal physical contact, trespassing and using fighting words.

More than $1,000 worth of colognes and perfumes were reported on Thursday to have been stolen from a business on the 200 block of Ken Pratt Boulevard, police said. Two suspects reportedly entered the store, loaded up two shopping bags with the merchandise, and left the area in a silver Pontiac.

Someone entered a Longmont resident's vehicle when it was parked in a lot on the 500 block of Main Street, stealing some loose change, according to a report police got on Thursday.

Police were dispatched to the 1000 block of Baker Street on Friday night to check out a report that a vehicle there had had its tires slashed. There are no suspects at this point, and the case is closed for the time being.

The Boulder alt-country band gives its EPs names such as Death and Resurrection, and its songs bear the mark of hard truths and sin. But the punk energy behind the playing, and the sense that it's all in good fun, make it OK to dance to a song like "Death." Full Story
